Destiny update 2.0 from Bungie

Bungie has taken to its weekly update to offer a preview of Destiny update 2.0 that’s due to hit ahead of upcoming expansion on September 8, ushering in Year 2 of Bungie’s sci-fi massive multiplayer game.

The 2.0 update will require 18GB of hard drive space on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and 10GB on Xbox 360. PlayStation 3 users will require 20GB, and only 10GB once the update is installed. While full patch notes will be released next week

According to this week’s Bungie update, a Crucible Preview Event will take place from September 8 to 14 and current Vanguard/Crucible marks will now convert into faction commendations on September 15.

The Moments of Triumph have been extended to September 14 at 11:59 p.m. PDT. Bungie reminds players that Moments of Triumph are tied to active characters, so deleting a character now may hinder progress. It’s recommended to wait until you’ve secured your Emblem before deleting Guardians.

Destiny fans will be able to dig into upcoming King’s Fall Raid on Friday, September 18 at 10:00 a.m. PT. The developer told IGN during PAX Prime that the new raid won’t launch alongside The Taken King expansion on day one of its launch on September 15 at 2:00 a.m. PT.

I just recently started playing Destiny again, I stopped playing after the 1st DLC, so I’m a little behind in how the game has changed since then. But my question is what are Moments of Triumph and how are they achieved?
